Lohan 'feared drugs would end her life'

Lindsay Lohan has reportedly admitted that she feared her addiction to drugs would end her life.

The Mean Girls actress, 23, allegedly revealed that she often used illegal substances and alcohol to ease her personal problems.

She told The Sun: "When my father was going public, that's when I hit rock bottom. I abused substances too much and it wasn't the answer to my problems."

"I tried to mask my problems with alcohol, cocaine, and mind-altering substances. Now I'm in a place where I don't need to use anything and I feel emotions because I choose to. I never want to be close to losing everything I worked for and aspired to have my whole life. I've made some dreadful mistakes but learned from them - that has probably saved my life."

The star then explained how drugs became boring to her after a while, saying: "I was only aware of cocaine because of my dad. I was terrified of it. But I tried it because I was stubborn, stupid and wanted to see what it was like. It's not something I ever want to do again.

"It made me feel like s**t. It became uninteresting to me. I'm hyper anyway and I have that kind of personality, so I don't need something like that."

Lohan also recounted her decision to enter rehab twice in 2007.

She added: "The first time I checked myself in [was] because I had taken Ambien. It's a sleeping aid but it makes you hallucinate. I'd run a bath and fallen asleep on the floor and it overflowed. When I woke up, I was so scared I called my therapist and said, 'Can I just go somewhere for a month? I'm around bad people and I need to take care of myself'. I was terrified, so I put my name in."
